I’ll be totally honest and say that I don’t trust Evan (for reasons I’m not getting into), and I’m not sure why we need “hashtags with extra steps,” but I’d like to get opinions from people who are smarter than I am about this stuff.

If you run a small micro-blog instance, you follow some people and maybe some communities. Tagged posts come only through these follows, so you only see a tiny portion of all tagged posts.

A hashtag relay tries to aggregate tagged posts from the whole network. By following a hashtag on such relay you can see more posts on the topic that interests you.
